Default ABS pulsation at low speed/au2 xr8

Hi guys,did a quick thread search and couldn't find any info...Bought a au2 xr8 a few weeks back and have noticed a slight ABS pulsation through the pedal at low braking pressure....Doesn't feel like your usual warped rotor shudder and the ABS light has come on intermittently.

Anyone had any similar problems??

Thanks,Josh.

Sounds like the ABS module might be on the way out.

I think there was a thread on this a while ago, from memory the consensus was that the Bosch abs module suffers a bit of dry solder joints in the electrical bits in their old age and start to play up.

in Bushbashers thread the abs doover gets a mention and a bloke that repairs them apparently, it might be worth a phone call to see if he can help you guys out.
